Something About Nothing ... #12

Happy 4th! And Happy Wednesday to those who don't celebrate the 4th! Talked to the husband this morning. Apparently he's been able to get real pizza in Beijing and the food isn't as weird there as the other place he usually goes to, though he's had some unusual food at both. (Can't remember the name of the other city he usually goes to other than it's considered a small city of only four million). Got the update message from the scouts of where they are now. They're in Washington DC today. It hadn't dawned on me that they went there both for it being D.C. and for the 4th of July fireworks. So that should be cool - and a bit of craziness.

Charade - Congrats on the move up in levels!

Welcome tgrgrl. Is that Tiger Girl?
 
Hi again & thanks for the welcome! Yes, tgrgrl=Tiger Girl. I graduated from Auburn & their mascot is a tiger. When I first joined this forum a lot of Disney folks got excited thinking my handle meant I was a former Tigger cast member. Bless! :tigger:

Anywhoo, my family (DH, DD age 10 & DD age 7) & I live in Merritt Island, FL. 5 miles from KSC, 5 miles from Port Canaveral & beaches & about 50 minutes from the Orlando attractions. We are very lucky to live here! We have never been APH for Disney ( scandalous, I know!!) but love SeaWorld and this year now have APH for UO. We had a Staycation at PBH last week and LOVED everything about the week! Volcano Bay at night is a must do.

Happy 4th everyone & looking forward to chatting again soon!
 
I have a neighbor with crimson tide signs in their front yard


Fireworks in my neighborhood started last night
Can only imagine how much more will happen today

Happy fourth all!
::yes::
 
Errands done, older one had to sample an ice cream treat, and brownies in the oven.

Muggy are us. Last night, with over 70 percent humidity, some of the loudest thunder and a huge strike of lightning. Others got 2 inches of rain in 10 minutes. We got a minute of light rain. That was it. Repeat for today, so hope the fireworks go off without any rain tonight.

And yeah Mac, since this weekend, my neighbors have enjoyed setting off their fireworks. Noise, not colors. Oh well. Nature will give us a thunderstorm show tomorrow.

Gotta go, brownies smell like done.

Welcome Tiger girl!! I like any name with cats in it!

Happy 4th everyone!

I think I'm truly falling apart! First, my leg cut! Which I think from the neosporin and bandage I've developed a nasty rash! Then, I think all the cleaning at home an Florida combined with much yard work made my back go out Monday night! Right before we were hosting as birthday party for Kyle! I'm a little better today, but I'm not doing much! Pool day!!

We were laughing last night.......a distant neighbour on a farm had fireworks going off around 11.30pm......we thought he might be celebrating Independence Day half an hour early........turns out they’re now grandparents........awwww.....

He wasn’t popular apparently with the other farmer on the other side though who gets up at 3.30am........:rotfl:

No chicken wings after all..........

Since weather has improved since this morning we are grilling outside.......I have a little American flag on the patio furniture.........:thumbsup2
 
Pattyw what are we gonna do for you

You’re falling apart so that means you need a quick trip to Orlando.....


Hope you do feel better real soon!
 
I knew there was some American blood in Schumi!!

She put the flag out today

::yes::

I used to have a tee shirt that said “Born to be an American”

Loved it.


Sitting in garden and enjoyed some lovely food........Tom cooks things to perfection on the barbecue........it’s nice not cooking especially in this heatwave........fabulous!!

I almost complained it was too hot! Almost.........:laughing:

Just had a call from the New York Palace asking if we needed anything for our upcoming trip.......told them nope, we are all sorted...........they checked we weren’t celebrating anything........

Getting very excited ::yes::
 
Where do you guys find these awesome gifs?
Happy 4th indeed-our street started last night-2 sets of neighbors full blown party and fireworks. Dog hid in basement, chickens shaking on their roost in coop-had to close the door to the box to try to keep noise out. No eggs this week with all the stress. And lost the yellow cuddle chicken yesterday-did find her. Got home from work and went to get tomatoes out of garden-only 2 chicks followed-called for cuddle chicken, no response, yell at boy to check house. He did and called for her too. 20 minutes of searching-finally get meal worm bucket and shake it outside-2 of 3 show up. Bring meal worm bucket inside and shake it-sure enough here comes cuddle chicken strolling out of DD's room-from the shape of comforter she apparently had herself a nice little nap and scratched herself up a nest. So laundry today...not sure how she got in-must have followed dog through deck gate and through magnetic screen door (we leave deck door cracked open with magnetic screen up so dog can go in and out.)
Need to run to store for milk, making zucchini bread for get together tonight.Nachos last night with fresh pico-with lots of Schumi's fave ingredient-cilantro :D:P
Did Typhoon lagoon at rope drop, seats in shade were spoken for quickly. By 10:30 none in evidence, earliest I’ve seen that happen.
So it was really busy? Wondering if August will be as bad and I should reserve a couple loungers now?

It sure seems they scaled back the special 4th of July MK fireworks
DD was there last night watching the fireworks too. And a friend from my old job is there with her family (4 girls) and saw the fireworks at MK last night too: the crowds looked insane! - getting her set up with MDE and linking in so I can share memory maker with her. Have over 1200 pics from past year (some are other friends/family)-whats a couple hundred more right?? I know they are on a very tight budget (he is a youth minister) so it will be fun to have the pictures for her.

Would chicken wings and beer suffice as kind of American...
Yep-or anything on a grill with beer in hand

Which I think from the neosporin and bandage I've developed a nasty rash!
I am allergic to neosporin-have to have prescription cream. found that out hard way several years ago when I splashed boiling water on my thigh and had a nasty burn-that started out the size of a couple quarters, ended up almost my whole thigh covered in weeping sloughing skin/rash/itchy all over. Emergent dermatologist (after a couple PCP visits as to why it wasn't getting better and in fact worse) visit said it's a sorta rare allergy to the antibiotic cream. Also allergic to latex. Hope you heal faster but if it's getting worse maybe skip the neosporin?

And taking advantage of DD's discount-booked last 2 days at AKV! Maybe only time it will ever be in my budget (and even then only for a couple nights)
Going to be surprise to DH for our anniversary! FP in am, afternoon pool/nap; evening probably (at least a couple nights) at Universal.

Hot and sunny today!
 
pattyw, how did Kyle’s birthday get together turn out yesterday?
Hope it was fun!

Did you tell him when he was little that all the fireworks celebration was for his birthday?

One of my boys was born end of June and we would tell him the fireworks in town were for his belated birthday
 
Mony how the heck can you lose yellow chickie?

It sounded so cute when you said she made a nest in the comforter

You’re not bbq’ing chicken today are you
 
Brownies cut, and almost time for our dinner. Men tending the grill, so all will be done soon. Hehe, the 3 month old cries when she is outside after a few minutes. Once in AC, she smiles. Smart kid, already.

Snacking all afternoon, pool was 90 degrees. No need for a hot tub. LOL

Patty, sorry to hear all not going well. I hope all gets better for ya soon. Happy Birthday to Kyle. Nice to party for him.

We have end of June and early July birthdays. So cake has 6 names on it. Yep, as great niece says, when is the cake and ice cream.

Welcome Tiger Girl. Nice to be close to the parks and a new AP holder. PB is one of our favorite hotels.

MonyK, hah, chicken knows where to relax. Great surprise to stay at AK. We we’ll be down at the end of August.

Robo, nice to see ya, and great picture. Happy 4th to you and family.

Mac, Happy 4th to you too.

And Schumi, woot! Trip so close now.

Food? Time to go.
 
You know I should have said to pattyw if she had a glass of wine, she would be feeling better real soon

Yes
She should do that instead of repeat to Orlando this week

Yes- I thought it seemed weird to be allergic to an antibiotic cream. So you and I are rare, Monyk!! I have no other allergies to medicine. I stopped the neosporin and went with some hydrogen peroxide. Now I'm just letting it go with no meds. I'm putting some cortisone cream on the rash-hope nothing weird happens with that!

Great party! The weather here was 90 and sunny! Everyone enjoyed the pool!! Water temp is 86! (above ground no heater- so that's wonderful for us!)

He's liked having his birthday on the 3rd! Always a holiday the next day! Even now with his friends responsible, working adults! They could party during the week and stay late!

Snacking all afternoon, pool was 90 degrees. No need for a hot tub. LOL

Same here! Pool is like bath water! No complaints!! We usually are lucky to get the water to 80! Save me some snacks!

You are truly a mind reader! Once the party prep was done- I went straight for the wine! Mainly for medicinal purposes:D Have to say worked like a charm!
